we are technologically driven in this country. that is a great asset in many respects that it is a liability as well. it is an asset in that we have allowed the most technological means to be used in some cases that have really made a difference. some people confuse our technology with our system, our marketplace. they say, we have the best in the world but we don't have the best sector in the world. if you look at any performance criteria, i think we have the best technology in the world. a lot of people around the world want to access that technology. come to the united states to be able to do that. what this law does and what i think a growing consensus even in the private sector outside the law acknowledges is that if we are really going to make a difference in the new health paradigm, we have got to come to the bottom of the pyramid and recognize that is where the efficiencies are. putting greater emphasis on wellness and less on illness at the top of the pyramid not only produces better results, but costs less money. it isn'

because the technology of the nuclear cycle -- you can get off the internet -- the knowledge of creating a nuclear weapons is already out there. and iran is a large country and it is a relatively wealthy country, and so we have to take seriously the possibility that they are going to try to get a nuclear weapon. that's what this whole exercise is about. having said that, if you look at the history, by the time we got an agreement with north korea, they essentially already had a nuclear weapon. with respect to pakistan, there was never the kinds of inspection regimes and international sanctions and u.n. resolutions that were in place. we have been able to craft an international effort and verification mechanism around the iran nuclear program that is unprecedented and unique. that doesn't mean it's easy. and that's why we have to take it seriously. but i think one of the things that i've repeatedly said when people ask, why should we try to negotiate with them, we can't trust them, we're being naïve, what i try to describe to them is not the choice between this deal and the ideal, but th
